THERE is music in the air for the polio,
force. We were lately under the impress
sion that Butte was shorthanded in thai
respect. but Marshal Jolley seems to think
and to have convinced the council that he
can.save $500 or $500 . month to theeitv in
that department and perform the work
more efficiently than it is now done. While
any saving is commsndabl BILE, it is 10 be
hoped that the eficienc, oi the force will
not be- impaired. Thy have entirely
'radicated the gang vi thieves that were
working this town a couple OF months ago.
Ind are keeping the city remarkably
rec OF crime. Helena seems to be sui.
ering from an epidemic Of thugs and high.
landed street robbsries from which Butte
as been exempt. Butte will naturally be the
'oint to which the thugs now operating in
telena will turn when the authorities there
AXE up to the situation and make the
apital too hot to hold them, and with
ne knowledge of this certainty tho utmost
atchfulness OF the part OF the Butte
olice force is necessary to protect this
ty from becoming the scene OF similar out
iges to those with which Helena has bes.
listed.

MURDERED IN A DANCE HOUSE.

A Piano Player Shot Down by . Gland
lady" Whom he Had Assaulted.
Ashland. Wis., special: Dogwood is the
in~elegant name of a little logging station OF
q couple OF hundred inhabitants on the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Rail
way. twenty miles from this city. There
are lots OF good, Industrious people in the
town, but . big crowd OF bad uns" as
well. Losgers frequently have a high old
time in the danes houses, two OF which do
q good business there. One of these, kept
by ''Black Alice" Williams, was the scene
OF q murder last night, and the proprie-
tress il the guilty person. The victim
Chas. Grace, il piano player, and was hired
by "Alics" to thump a squeaky instrument
in her house. Charlie had q woman" whom
no frequently beat numerically. Yesterday
he began his inhuman work and bis "wife"
sought protection from the ''landlady."
Alice, in attempting to interfere, was
knocked down and th1mped by the piano
player. When she arose he walked behind
the bar and began q hunt for a gun. Alice
went to her room. Grace followed, met her
at the door and attempted a repetition of
what had previously occurred. While his
hand was lifted to strike she placed a 49,
caliber bulldog" against his abdomen and
pulled the trigger. Charlie will not play a
piano any more.

Az an example Of how labor is paid i,
highly protected States, the Investigation,
OF a correspondent Of the New York WorIe
into the wages paid in tn coal districts O
Pennsylvania may be quoted. It show,
the fallacy OF the argument that protection
keeps up wages. Coal is protected by q
duty OF Is cents q ton. That produced in
Pennsylvania enters largely in eonsump.
tion in the industries Of that State which
are the most highly protected OF any in the
Union, and if there is any merit in protec.
ton it ought not only to keep up the
standard OF wages in those are in.
directly protected but in all others that are
essentialto those industries. The Worlds
correspondent says that a Pennsylvania
miner, Tor 249 hours work, received the
munifcent reward Of $29.3S, or about
IL 4-5 cents per hour. At this rate he
would receive for q months labor of
t~wenty-six working days Of nine hours each
$27.61. In England and Scotland, where
the competition for employment il far
greater, owing to the denssr population
b in Pennsylvanis, the compensation of
coal miners is nowhere 90 low, on the con.
trary in some districts it il higher. The
reports show that the rate of
wages paid in some districts is 1sX cents an
hour, or S1.09a day for eight hours work.

AT ITS meeting on Monday evening the
City Council neglected to comply with the
oft-repeate request of the fire department
Tor additional fireplugs. Considering that
the hose with which the department is sup
piled is insufficient for their requirements
in reaching fires at any distance from the
present plugs. this neglect may be the
means OF costing the citizens much loss
during the coming swinter. The season is
too far advanced to remedy the evil now,
and the department will have to face the
season OF fires no better equipped for con-
tending with them than it ever has been, It
is strange that the gentlemen in whose
keeping the city has placed the manage
ment OF it's affairs have refused to listen to
the persistent appeals OF the men who have
to fight fires for the city and who may b.
supposed to understand the necessities of
the situation perfectly. It argues an in.
to the most pressing needs OF the
strangely at variance with the
duty imposed on them by their election to
Office.

The completion OF the California & Ore.
gon Railway last Saturday was an event OF
great Importance to the Pacific coast. The
road was begun t%wenty-one years ago and
will form an important factor in the traffic
between Portland and San Francisco which
now furnishes employment for four large
steamships every week. 1t will be a great
convenience to travellers who will now be
able to make the trip by rail oil through,
instead OF encountering the discomfort oil a
stage ride over an exceedingly rough road
as until Saturday last wa necessary over
Jne uncompleted portion between Ashland
and Reading. The completion OF this link
makes q line from Portland to New Orleans.
a distance of three thousand miles, which is
important in a strategic point of view. The
people Of this city are by it supplied with
another route to San Francisco over the
Northern Pacific to Portland and thence
due south.

complished yesterday. Mr.. Schmidt has
filled the position eonscientiously and re.

ciated. Judge Irvine, in making the ap-

m~inistration OF the position for many years

integrity and ability to tho
discharge OF his duties again. and that the
affairs OF the county will be iudiciously
and economically administered. The resig-
nation Of the Craftsmanship OF the Board
by Mr.. Hall in Mr.. Jacks favor is a grace
(ul tribute to the latter gentleman's worth
and experience. Uuder MI. Jacks presiding
care, the business OF the County Commits
will be expedited and their labors
greatly lessened BY the experience and

THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST,

The result Of the Smith. Kilrain contest,
fully reported in the columns of The MINER
yesterday morning through the excellent
account furnished by the Associated Press,
is a disappointment to sporting men and to
those who take any interest in such affairs
in this country and Europe. Richard K.
Fox expresses the general sentiment on the
subject when he teleeraphed: IA draw
wont do" He insists that Kilrain shall
face Smith again. and if the latter refuse,
no will claim the championship for his man.
This is the right course to pursue and
everyone will agree with Mr.. Fox that it Is
the only honorable course open to the men.
We are forced to the conclusion, in spite of
the detailed report OF the fight, that it was
not fought as earnestly as it should have
been. A heavyweight fight, it is asserted,
as fighting is conducted at the present day,
cannot possibly last over 6fty or sixty
rounds, for the tremendous blows that men
weighing about 100 pounds infict are pow
erful and fall with crushing effect when
dealt in earnest. Sullivan can strike q blow {
OF over 700 pounds without any special
effort, and though he 10 the most powerful
man known. heavyweights like Smith
and Kilrain are able to strike blows that |
tell as powerfully Of if struck by . sledge-
hammer. 1t 10 therefore boy ond human en-
durance for these men to have stood up to
each other for q hundred and six rounds
in which 80 many blows were planted bad
they been in earnest in their work. In
spite OF their mutual assurances, it 10 safe
to say that the odds are against either of
them facing John L.. and it 10 certain that
if either Of them has the hardihood to do
SO he will havAto cut out his work and 90
ut it much more rapidly than was the case
in the recent encounter, for the chances are
against his facing the r%sdoubtable Boston
boy for ons-fourth as many rounds as
were fought on Monday. We may expect
to hear OF Smith and Kilrain going on a
sparring tour in the old country, as the
usual result Of such exhibitions as the one
just finished.

Systematic Robbery of the P1ttsburs &
Lake Erie Road by Employees.
FITTsBURG, December 2O.-John Henry,
travelling passenger agent of the Pittsbure
u Lake Erie Railway, and a number oil
other officials and clerks in the passenger
department and ticket office yesterday re-
ceived d carefully worded notification
signed by President John Newall and Gen
eral Superintendent Holbrook, signifying
that their presence would not be REQUIRED

This is the beginning OF Developments in the
passenger department of the Pittsburg Il

sumo the proportions OF the recent start
ling disclosures in the freight department
OF the Panhandle. For months high officials
OF the road nave suspected that something
very loose or something positively crooked
mas existed in the ticket sales and receipts
OF the road, and within a few weeks they
have obtained proof that they were being
systematically robbed. but where, by
whom, or to what extent, can only be told

and accounts Of the whole department. It
is thought that counterfeit tickets are in

accounts kept by the company, it would
hardly be possible without collision for
